Im Nachhinein gab es zwar sinnvolle Kommunikations- und Aufklärungsversuche, aber die Erfahrungen aus dem Finanzausschuss waren enttäuschend: Fragen an den Finanzdirektor konnten nicht sofort beantwortet werden. Guggenbichler wollte auch wissen, auf welcher Grundlage der Bürgermeister die 1,4 Milliarden Euro Notstrom freigegeben und nicht Stadtrat oder Stadtsenat einberufen hätte. Laut Guggenbichler kommunizierten die Verantwortlichen nicht gut, und diese Missverständnisse dauern nun an und werden immer schlimmer....
